Si Tian Guan

    "Everyone in Beijing should know what happened better than me and the prince."

    There is a table and six chairs in the house, just suitable for a few people to sit down, Qu Chenzhou sat at the table, glanced down, and looked at the other table.

    "Is the prince well? Have you heard about the queen mother?"

    "Okay, okay," Liu Chongming's face was still ashen, he endured the pain, and calmly replied: "I went back to Beijing yesterday, and I have heard people say it. On the Queen Mother's birthday, King Ning He was murdering with a knife, and Eunuch Xi saw it with his own eyes."

    He asked the person on the right: "Does the emperor want to let you intervene?"

    "No," Ling He shook his head: "How can Dali Temple take care of the affairs of the Tian family. I only went with the emperor to see Eunuch Xi once, Eunuch Xi insisted, saying that they just Not long after the rest in Wucuiyuan, King Ning made an excuse to visit Empress at the door, and they opened the door unprepared."

    "I heard that Eunuch Xi also had a knife wound," Liu Chongming asked: "How is the injury? How did the knife fall?"

    "I don't know, what Eunuch Xi swore in front of the emperor was true. That night, he hanged himself and chased after the queen mother. …”

    Ling He turned to Rong Jiu'an and motioned him to interface.

    "Tang Shizhong was making a lot of noise in the court, clamoring for an autopsy for the queen mother, but the weather was hot, and the queen mother had already been buried, and more people opposed the reopening of the coffin, which was disrespectful to the queen mother."

    "Tang Shizhong had nothing to say and turned to see King Ning, but the emperor did not allow it."

    Ling He nodded: "If this case is in Dali Temple, I will not allow it. The Tang family has too many hands and feet to move. If you say the right words, the queen mother will die in vain."

    "What do you think of Linghe?" Qu Chenzhou tapped the handrail with his fingers: "Is King Ning really the murderer?"

    "I don't know if he is the murderer or not, but judging from the results of his actions, the knife was indeed held in King Ning's hand when the murder was committed."

    "Is this not easy?"

    Baishiyan got up, holding the hilt of a knife in his hand, and gestured to Fang Wuyi.

    When Fang Wuyi came to him, he dodged behind him, covered Fang Wuyi's mouth with one hand, put the knife in Fang Wuyi's hand with the other, stabbed forward, then backhanded, and stabbed him at his waist The ribs were stabbed a few times.

    Everyone can see that the difference in height between the two is almost the same as Eunuch Xi and Mu Jingzhao, especially when Mu Jingzhao is stunned, the difference in strength is even greater. There is little room for resistance.

    "Very good," Qu Chenzhou agreed: "In this way, everyone agrees that it is not so much that the queen mother was killed, it is better that the queen mother committed suicide by the hands of King Ning and put the blame on Ning. king."

    No one refuted this statement. In fact, Tang Shizhong and the queen had a lot of trouble in the harem of the former dynasty, because of this speculation.

    It's just that the people who testified at the scene at the time were all dead, and King Ning's confession was empty and vernacular, which was not enough to prove his innocence.

    By habit, Ling He's focus is on the case itself: "I can't understand, what is the purpose of the queen mother doing this?"

    Liu Chongming glanced at Qu Shenzhou and smiled at Linghe: "It's useless to think too much. If you can understand the grievances and grievances of the harem, it's not too far from the search of the house."

    Ling He shut his mouth wisely.

    Rong Jiu'an leaned slightly towards him: "Brother, or else..."

    "No."

    Ling He knew what his younger brother wanted to say - or you should leave first, such a grand and **** trick was what he hated the most.

    The source of fairness and justice has been distorted, and it is impossible for him to cure absurdity with absurdity.

    "I understand that the wicked have their own grind."

    The "wicked" raised the corners of his good-looking eyes and smiled slightly: "That's right. The wicked have their own grind, the emperor looks vague now, but in fact he already has a tendency, only one wicked person is needed. He was just relieved."

    "What do you mean?" Shiraishi didn't understand.

    Liu Chongming explained for him: "King Ning's case is full of doubts. If the emperor really wants to clear his grievances, there are many places where he can intervene."

    Speaking of this, Baishiyan also understood: "The emperor doesn't want to stay with King Ning?!"

    "Why don't you want to stay with King Ning?" Qu Chenzhou answered him: "King Ning has been arrogant to be like that, the emperor may have no intention of King Ning succeeding the throne, but I am afraid that there is a reason to be used by the Tang family. . This time, when King Ning is confined in the palace, it is also for the Tang family to throw a rat."

    Fang Wuyang was always beside him without making a sound, and at this time he frowned: "I don't know what you guys mean, but listening to this, if the Tang family takes back King Ning, Do you still dare to do something outrageous?"

    "Whether they dare or not is one thing, but the emperor doesn't want them to go out, fight to the death, and shake out all the old things."

    Liu Chongming gradually clarified the clues in this analysis, and looked at Qu Chenzhou: "The emperor hangs the heart of the Tang family, just waiting for something. Shi Yan."

    "What?"

    "Has the emperor mobilized Beiya these days?"

    "Yes," Baishiyan replied: "Half a month ago, it was said that the emperor was going to watch the Beiya martial arts, so I moved the left and right dragon cavalry troops to Guanshan Pavilion, and then the emperor became unwell. , and now the people are still there."

    As soon as he finished speaking, he also reacted: "Could it be that the emperor is to guard against..."

    Guanshan Pavilion is between the capital and Shili Pavilion. If there is a commotion at Shili Pavilion, the left and right dragoons will be a deadly ambush.

    This should be a secret in the military and not known to others. If it is not related to what is being discussed, it would not be so creepy.

    "It's not just guarding, but expecting," Qu Chenzhou corrected him: "Just a suspicious assassination, even if it can cut off King Ning's way up, it's not enough. Kill the Tang family. Now the situation is stalemate, and one person is needed..."

    "This person was framed by Qu Sitian halfway through, escaped death, and is about to return to Beijing." Liu Chongming said calmly: "Because of credit, he was robbed and eager to make contributions. Going a step further, if you want to flatter you, don’t forget to hurry up.”

    Baishiyan was stunned, looking back and forth at the two younger brothers sitting by the desk.

    "You...you two have already had a good conversation?"

    "No, I just saw the prince," Qu Chenzhou replied earnestly: "But here's what I said. This is the best way to go. If you want to break the game, the emperor is also waiting. Such a person, and Shizi is the best candidate."

    The room was quiet for a moment.

    No one refuted, they knew more than others, everything went smoothly, but it always made people feel very uncomfortable.

    Ling He wanted to leave, but hesitated and sat back again.

    "Your Highness, if that day comes, will your Highness become like this?"

      Chongming would like to thank you in advance.”

    Ling He was silent for a moment, then returned a salute.

    The tense atmosphere just now finally eased back.

    Liu Chongming sighed softly: "Now that King Ning Huai is still here, I don't dare to be arrogant, and everyone cherishes it."

     "The most important thing right now is not to let the Tang family have a chance to turn over, otherwise the reputation of the emperor will be affected and the country will be uneasy."

    "If everything goes well on my side, it may not only be a matter of the Tang family later, if the emperor..."

    He paused.

    "We will discuss with my father later, although the matter of seizing the heirs is important, of course people who are flies and dogs can't stay, but they can't implicate innocent people."

    "Whether the emperor asked Jiu'an or someone fell into the Dali Temple later, please judge the situation."

    "Although King Huai is confined at home, it is impossible not to intervene secretly. Everyone should take care of yourselves. If there is any accident, Shen Zhou and I will definitely help each other. Don't fight alone."

    That's it, no more to say.

    He sent the four away, turned his head and saw Qu Chenzhou only pursed his lips and smiled, couldn't help but smile: "What are you laughing at?"

    "Chongming was really imposing just now, and sure enough, when I think of the past, it's different."

    Liu Chongming is most afraid of mentioning this, and he knows that the little fox is specially teasing him, and deceives him: "I won't go back to the palace tonight? Don't want to sleep?"

    Qu Chenzhou stopped him: "Master Shizi just sent them all tasks, why did you miss me?"

    "How dare I order you," Liu Chongming and the chair pinched back and forth, forcing people to move: "What do you want again? Talk to me around the corner."

    "It's not what I want, but what the prince wants? Is Shiliting's military power right?"

    Liu Chongming smiled: "I can't hide anything from you, does Qu Sitian make a prediction for me?"

    "The emperor has an order, and the lower officials are not allowed to divination privately. Should the prince be strong?"

    Qu Chenzhou curled his hair with his fingers, gradually restrained his smile, and sighed.

    "If King Ning makes a fuss here, let alone the emperor can't let your family dominate, Mu Jingyan will come out on his own, but unfortunately there is no handle at the moment, so he can't turn it over. body."

      The world is not good."

    What even Qu Shenzhou could not have expected, Liu Chongming would not blush to make a promise.

    "I know, I can only try to win. Even if I can't win this, the emperor should consider rewarding me in other ways. If I can take this opportunity to win the title for Lan'er, it will be considered one step further."

    Qu Chenzhou was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

    "Inappropriate."

    "I personally experienced the rebellion against the palace back then, and I know too well what the military power of Shiliting will be in Mu Jingyan's hands. Even if His Royal Highness is crowned king, there is still a serious problem for the confidant, and it must be killed in advance."

    The corners of his eyes were raised, with such a lazy and sly smile.

    "The prince asked me what I wanted just now, but I really want it. Will the prince give it?"

    "Of course I'll give it," Liu Chongming scratched his chin with his fingers, watching him raise his head and squinting: "What do you want?"

    "I want... the prince to give me half of the credit for King Ning."

    Zhi Wei shook her body, feeling that the sedan chair was bumping a little faster, but she didn't know where it was going.

    More than half a month ago, someone took him directly to the prince's courtyard, but he never saw the prince.

    I called him out again today, and I don't know where to go.

    He was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard a heavy voice from outside the sedan chair and asked sharply: "Who is blocking the way! How dare you!"

    The servant who was accompanying outside stepped forward and didn't know what to say, but the other party obviously didn't buy it.

    The car curtain was pulled open.

    "The slave knows the taste, I meet all the military lords, the slave accidentally bumps into and offends, the crime deserves death, and I hope the military master will see the love of the prince and forgive the slave."

    Being quiet in front of him, he didn't dare to look up, only to hear someone being helped off the horse and walking towards him slowly.

    In the low vision, a blue and white pattern appeared, embellished on the sandalwood hem, the nobles he had seen had no such rank, and he did not know how to call them, only Can go deeper and bow down: "Sir, forgive your sins."

    The coiled whip hits his chin, making him look up.

    "Xiao...Xiao Qu..." Zhiwei was taken aback.

    Someone shouted angrily above their heads: "Let's be presumptuous! This is Qu Sitian!"

    Zhiwei was overwhelmed and wanted to bow his head in a panic, but he was pinned down and unable to move his jaw.

    "The prince's love?"

    The voice was the little brother Qu he knew, but the sneering tone was different.

    "The clothes are nice, where are you going?"

    The servant on the side hurriedly responded for him: "Huiqu Sitian, the prince ordered to let Zhiwei serve with him. This is to find the prince."

    Zhiwei's hand on the ground trembled slightly.

    He was chatting with people in the building, and of course he occasionally heard about it, but after all, it was too far away from him, no matter how much he heard about it, it would not be as shocking as seeing Qu Chenzhou with his own eyes.

    "Ququ Sitian spares my life..." He knew too well whose place he was going to replace now: "Slave dare not..."

    "Afraid of what?"

    Qu Chenzhou looked at him calmly, tapped his whip twice on his shoulder: "Take care of him."

    He didn't get up until the hooves and footsteps left him.

    "Brother Xiao Qu...how does it seem like a different person."
